| | Biography Pope Leo IV The Papal Library |
 | | The prince was delighted with the proposal, exhorted the pope to put the work in hand without delay, and sent, as the contributions of all his brothers as well as of himself, a great many pounds of silver. |
 | | Leo IV had, in 850, crowned Louis II as emperor, or rather as associate in the empire, and he lived constantly in good understanding with him, as well as with Lothaire, the still living father of Louis. |
 | | This pope was very learned; he united the rarest virtues, circumspection, munificence, piety, humanity, courage, and love of justice; he was beneficent to the poor, and fulfilled the duties of the pontifical ministry with the most exemplary exactitude. |
